Everything Everywhere All at Once exists in the outer wilds of the imagination, in the realm of lucid dreaming and liminal spaces. It bounces off familiar representations of altered states, whether it be The Matrix or the phantasmical films of Michel Gondry, while feeling entirely unclassifiable. It’s both proudly puerile, with a running joke about butt plugs, and breathlessly sincere about the daily toil of intergenerational trauma. Read full review

Without question, “Everything Everywhere All at Once” is a remarkable piece of work, one of the most original and creative films of the past couple of years. Read full review

What makes Everything Everywhere work is not that it’s zany, it’s that it actually finds a purpose for its zaniness, or least tries to. The Daniels are provocateurs, brilliant technical filmmakers. More importantly, they actually strive not to be full of shit. God bless them. Read full review

The film works magic by embracing excess, finding a kind of harmony and possibility within it, and reminding us of the beauty and lunacy of the human experience along the way. Read full review

The Daniels are unusually present ringmasters here, eschewing the flippancy that marred their splashy quirk-quake “Swiss Army Man” for a more big-feeling anarchic escapism. In their nifty code-switching, we-all-contain-multitudes metaphor, they’ve concocted something that feels genuinely attuned to our modern anxieties, but also embracing of our coping mechanisms.

Crammed with ideas, jokes, laments, non sequiturs and some terrific actors you’ve seen before (if not nearly enough), the movie comes at you like a warm hug wrapped in a kung fu chop: It’s both a sweet, sentimental story about a Chinese American family and a wild, maximalist sensory assault.

With its bland and faux-universal life lessons that cheaply ethicalize expensive sensationalism, the film comes off as a sickly cynical feature-length directorial pitch reel for a Marvel movie. Read full review

I saw this movie three times in theaters. I cannot get enough of it. The characters, the story, the set pieces, the action and the drama are all basically perfect in this film. We need more of the Daniels, their direction is incredibly unique and I've never seen anything like it before. II saw this movie three times in theaters. I cannot get enough of it.

One of the most creative and engaging films I've ever seen. So much good about this; the themes, characters, performances, story, cinematography, etc.

I have been starting to feel like originality in film is hard to come by. Uhhh.... until this mind f*ck of a film comes out of nowhere and blows my mind. Even if its not your cup of tea you have to respect the sheer amount of creativity, originality, and the overall risk these filmmakers took. It's funny, weird, emotional, raunchy, sad all at once. IT IS EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE.
Obviously we haven't seen multiverse of madness yet but did a movie with 95 percent less of its budget and zero previous hype just show marvel how to do multiverse correctly? This movie is a benchmark for originality. Can't recommend it enough! Tell your friends, family, ex girlfriend and everyone you know and lets get some butts in seats and make this movie a hit!… Expand

Just a really inventive, exhilarating and emotionally resonant good time! Ke Huy Quan is fantastic and I can't wait to see where he goes from here.

Un film des plus surprenants sur le multivers : des univers parallèles en folie et en collision les uns avec les autres… sans que tout cela ne devienne complètement foutraque (heureusement) grâce à un scénario rigoureux qui sait tenir le cap… mais qui se laisse aller (hélas) vers la fin àUn film des plus surprenants sur le multivers : des univers parallèles en folie et en collision les uns avec les autres… sans que tout cela ne devienne complètement foutraque (heureusement) grâce à un scénario rigoureux qui sait tenir le cap… mais qui se laisse aller (hélas) vers la fin à des répétitions et des longueurs fatigantes !

Et en même temps de marteler son message niaiseux et béat (de paix et d’amour naïf… et niais) durant au bas mot le dernier quart d’heure… ou les 20 dernières minutes (environ). On l’a bien compris, le psychodrame entre la mère et la fille (doublé qui plus est d’un agenda woke progressiste…), inutile d’en faire des tonnes là-dessus…! d’autant qu’il est vrai (comme le fait remarquer sa mère) que la fille a (quand même) des kilos en trop… (attention à ce que tu dis, grossophobie !).

Néanmoins, malgré ces défauts (assez gênants), il convient de saluer l’excellent rôle pour Michelle Yeoh qui du haut de ses 60 piges, continue de distribuer quelques mandales… mais pas seulement : elle s’affirme comme une maman digne d’admiration, pétrie de contradictions, bien que sa fille soit un peu jeune dans le film, du coup…!

Il faut en outre mentionner la bonne utlisation des effets spéciaux et signaler l’humour omniprésent qui fait souvent mouche… bien qu’un peu trop délirant et pas forcément du meilleur goût (parfois) mais souvent très drolatique dans ses excès, c’est le moins qu’on puisse dire…

Quel dommage du coup, toute cette guimauve à deux balles vers la fin !… mais notons enfin la présence inattendue ici et là de super mamie Jamie Lee Curtis, survoltée…!… Expand

A puerile film for faux intellectuals. Honestly, if this impresses you, please expand your horizons - maybe read a book or two, some of the classics, perhaps. What passes for quality these days is shockingly bad.
